Powering the Bajaj RE is a 198.8cc motor producing 11 hp and 18 Nm torque when running on gasoline. It can also be run on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) but the power figures will be adjusted accordingly. On CNG, the RE makes 10 hp and 14.9 Nm of torque. A third fuel option is LPG, which makes the RE produce 11 hp and 15.2 Nm of torque. The three-wheeler’s speed maxes out at 65 km/h.

The RE is ideal for those who need a small vehicle to go on short errands as well as an alternative for those who want to get into the tricycle transport business.
